Am I the only one whose tired of Batman?

[Chris Cool]

I enjoyed the Linda Carter series. It was fun and funny with a charismatic lead. The Justice League cartoon on Netflix is not some deadly serious fair. It is light hearted IMO. And like you said Super friends was light hearted and I loved it.

I think making super heroes ‘serious’ and ‘philosophical’ is liming your audience. Most kids are not interested in that and adults who are not diehard fans don’t want that either. They want something fun that they might actually be able to take their kids to. You are really just limiting the audience to comic nerds when you go the serious/angsty route.
Maybe Man of Steel was but this upcoming movie featuring Wonderwoman isn't. Zack Snyder has said, the script for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a script that was made up in a room with the minds of the creators of this movie throwing ideas around and creating a fully realized story.

the last 2 batman movies made over a billion each and green lantern flopped.

well if we just counting movies, nah, but batman is the only hero besides spidey to have a movie and a game release, consistently.

Batman Begins (Ps2/Xbox)
Arkham Asylum
Arkham City
Akrham Origins
Arkham: Black Gate (PSVITA)
Arkahm Knight

at bringing facts to this thread.

Batman TAS wasn't some lighthearted show but I watched that shyt when I was 6-7.

My pops took me to see Batman Returns at the show.

Don't other characters crack jokes like Tony now?

And they just changed the story in Avengers 2 to have him as the one that invented Ultron

Yeah I keep forgetting how much of a romp batman the animated series was...and I now that I think about it, wasn't it justice league unlimited that had a whole arc built around a 9/11 allegory? Yeah, that's so much fun

And you're right, they've definitely neutered a lot of their characters for him

Where's Robin in DC cinema my G? We got War Machine by IM2. Supposedly Robin is already dead in the upcoming movie. See the difference?

Dark works well with the Dark Knight. Batman is the exception not the rule. They will try realism and grit with WonderWoman, let's see how it turns out.

I think I said earlier he was in 1 movie's action out of 7. Pay attention.

Didn't they replace the actor playing War Machine to pay the guy playing Iron Man more money

I was watching Batman TAS with my niece last week because she likes the Bat, but I forgot how that show was definitely pushing the limits of a G rating. It was the episode where Batman is put on trial by all the villains in Arkham...Two Face was like "I just wanted to put a slug between your eyes and be done with it, but the coin says otherwise".... welp time to switch back to the Wiggles

He never played War Machine. Just James Rhodes.
And your point is what?

You know I forgot he was in this movie. So thanks for correcting me. I did say 'in action' so no Nolan's Robin does not count.

I always thought for years that Jessica Biel would've made a good Wonder Woman based on her looks and athletic build. If the right director could've brought out an edge or some sort of ferocity out of her acting ability she would've been great for Wonder Woman.
Not tired of Batman though, Superman however, honestly I thought Superman Returns was and Man of Steel was underwhelming.

But DC should've def should've been put more other character movies out. I mean X-Men has had a million spin-offs and every Avenger (that matters to me) put out solos before they made that major move for the 1st Avengers movie.

DC ANIMATED movies though, Doomsday, Crisis on Two Earths, Wonder Woman, Supe/Bat Public enemies etc were piff
